Okay, makes sense.

Here's an updated patch.

Thanks,

Subject: mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function

This function basically does:

     remove_from_page_cache(old);
     page_cache_release(old);
     add_to_page_cache_locked(new);

Except it does this atomically, so there's no possibility for the
"add" to fail because of a race.

This is used by fuse to move pages into the page cache.
